Quarter Mile at a Time – Fast Five

I live my life a quarter-mile at a time. Nothing else matters; not the mortgage; not the store; not my team and their bullshit. For those 10 seconds or less, I’m free.” – Vin Diesel as Dominic Toretto
Fast & Furious is no longer about street racing.
FAVORITE CARS
NATHAN
1. 2010 Koenigsegg CCXR

Not too many cars to pick from in this movie, but this car is the sickest one to show up in the movie.
“After their heist in Rio De Janeiro Brazil, Roman stops by Tej’s garage in Miami to show him his Koenigsegg CCXR that he purchased with his money from the heist. Roman claims that he only has one in the Western Hemisphere. It is soon revealed that Tej has one too. To Roman’s surprise, Tej tells him that there’s now two in the Western Hemisphere. Roman agrees clamiing that they could “shine together”.

FAVORITE CHARACTER
A car is only as good as its driver and this franchise is always introducing new faces, here is our favorite character from the film.
NATHAN
Gisele Yashar

Switching it up to my favorite girl character in the whole movie series Gisele Yashar. Of course some of my influence in choosing her is defiantly her beauty, but she is also a amazing character who should have lasted a longer longer then she did.
STEVE
Tej Parker
